jewish tour of berlin

Shalom and Welcome

History is not just about what's true. Our past is made of endless events that truly happened, but that does not make them history.

For the historian, just like for the tourist, the important question is: What is important?

This is what guides us as guides.

Shalom and Willkommen! We are Yoav and Noa (Natalie) Sapir, professional history guides in Berlin. If you want to know more about our backgrounds, take a look here . On our website, you'll find information not just about our tours, but also about planning your time in Berlin, with useful ideas for your vacation, as well as some articles for those we have the time and desire to read ahead of (or after) their visit.

As history guides, we wish to help you to unravel the Berlin complex. During the 20th century, this city has witnessed seven totally different political systems, making it an explosive set of contradictions: Monarchy, anarchy, democracy, dictatorship and foreign occupation, capitalism and communism all colliding in one city. Today, as the Western Europe's most eastern city Eastern Europe's most western city , it is packed with juxtapositions and contradictions.

On top of all that, there's Jewish Berlin. Our main focus lies on Berlin's Jewish history - perhaps we should say “Berlin's Jewish histories", in the plural, as there were many of them. But as you know, that richness of spirit and intellect was violently destroyed by the Nazis. To a great extent, therefore, the Jewish story of Berlin has to do with the Holocaust. There is actually no other city in the world that offers more Holocaust memorials than Berlin, making it a part of the city’s everyday life. We would be honored to take you on a meaningful journey, unfolding these stories with you: Our history tours are not just about seeing the sights, but also about understanding them. We are quite flexible and try to find on every tour the right balance for our guests between quantity (how much we see) and quality (how deep we go).

For your convenience, we created an Itinerary Advisor that will help you get your bearings and prioritize the options. We can tailor the itineraries to suit your personal needs and interests. In case you're coming with a cruise ship and have only one day in Berlin, we also provide all the relevant information about shore excursions to Berlin .

We'd be happy to help you in your planning, so you could make the most out of your time in our fascinating city: You can find information about Kosher food in Berlin and about Berlin's synagogues as well as many other ideas for your stay in Berlin .

Guiding tours in Berlin is our profession, but not just. To us, professionalism means having a certain philosophy behind what you're doing and knowing what you're doing it for. You can read about our guiding philosophy here .

Last but not least, you'll also find here concise answers to frequently asked questions about our tours .

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us - we're happy to assist!

Gregor gave us information in rather fascinating way and it was never felt boring at all. With him, we covered the major sites of world war ii and cold war which shaped the history of the world.

No shying away from it and for a group of people she didn't know at all she displayed just the right amount of judgment against the horrible people who were too big a part of this place's history.

• Z7952YQrobynh 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles A very sobering but necessary experience! Daniel was an excellent tour guide. Rey knowledgeable & passionate about the subject matter. It was a dry sobering experience, but essential 2 learn something of the details of the time. It was a very busy day! I had ligament strain in my left leg (on anti-inflammatories), which I let Daniel know. Sometimes it was tricky keeping up w the group, as I cld not walk @ my usual pace. There is no break 4 lunch - I wld include this in the future. Toilet breaks included. Maybe less detail on everything - given we had a detailed brochure. Also, cld Daniel pls get in touch w the authority who issue their certification? I took a rest on the stone block near the gas chambers/firing area, due 2 my left leg tiring. Another guide told me I cld not sit there - Daniel advised us we cld. Visitors shld not b ‘shamed’ 4 doing something which is legitimate. I think the ‘power’ may go 2 the heads of some other guides. Otherwise, a most enjoyable & informative day. Daniel even went the extra mile & bought me an extension ticket (I reimbursed him), as my 24 hr ticket had just expired. The tour did go considerably longer than on the TA website. 👏🥇🇩🇪🙋🏻‍♀️ Robyn Read more Written 21 May 2024

Events on Jewish history and present in Berlin  

Jewish culture and Jewish life are deeply rooted in Berlin. A great cultural diversity , but also the eventful history of Jewish citizens and their families have shaped the past centuries in Berlin. In 1671, 50 Jewish families came to Berlin and formed the first Jewish community. The Große Kurfürst, the Great Elector, brought them, as well as other religious refugees, to the city for reconstruction after the 30 Years' War. In the centuries that followed, Jewish culture unfolded, melded deeply with the city and enormously enriched life, diversity and progress in Berlin . Names such as Moses Mendelsohn, Rosa Luxemburg and Albert Einstein are only representative of the many important Berliners. 

In the 1920s, around 170,000 Jewish citizens live and work in Berlin. The catastrophe that soon began changed this picture forever : most of them fled after 1933 or were forced to emigrate. 55,000 Berliners become victims of the Shoa , the organised mass murders of European Jews that originated in Berlin. 

Since the late 1980s, Jewish life in the city has experienced a modest renaissance. With its comprehensive programme of events , the Jewish Museum Berlin in particular is a place of dynamic discussion and reflection. Everywhere in the city, whether at the Anne Frank Centre or the New Synagogue , whether in cafés or on stage s, you can experience vibrant Jewish culture, music and tradition in Berlin.

Jewish heritage walking tour

Spend a morning on a walking tour through Mitte, Berlin’s most central district, to see sites significant to the history of Jewish people in Germany. You’ll start at Hausvogteiplatz, the former location of Berlin’s fashion industry, which was run largely by Jewish designers.

You’ll get to see the Hackescher Markt, where a shop owner protected his Jewish employees by bribing the Gestapo, and you’ll visit Bebelplatz, where the Nazis held a book burning. You’ll walk along Rosenstrasse, where non-Jewish wives and family members successfully protested the arrests and deportation of Jewish men, and you’ll end at the Berlin New Synagogue.

Your guide will also take you through Museum Island and tell you about James Simon, a German Jewish art collector who donated most of his priceless art collection to Berlin’s state museums. As you walk, you’ll see the Barn Quarter, formerly home to a large Jewish community.

This half-day Jewish heritage walking tour begins at your hotel, where you’ll meet your private guide and head to Hausvogteiplatz. This square was once renowned for its booming textile and fashion industry, which was largely run by Jewish designers and merchants. In the square you’ll find three tall mirrors, arranged in a circle. This monument, reflecting the sky to all who see it, is a memorial dedicated to the Jewish victims of the Holocaust.

You’ll then head to Bebelplatz, the site of a Nazi book burning in 1933. Around 20,000 books written about ideologies opposed to Nazism, written by Jewish authors, or considered subversive were torched in an act of censorship. As you make your way through the square, look down to  The Empty Library . This art installation was designed by an Israeli sculptor and is set deep into the cobblestones. The subterranean memorial features empty bookshelves with enough room to house 20,000 books.

On your way to your next destination, you’ll pass through Museum Island. Your guide will tell you all about James Simon, a German-Jewish art collector and philanthropist who donated most of his priceless art collection to Berlin’s state museums.

You’ll then stop at Rosenstrasse, the site of a 1943 protest against Nazis. Non-Jewish wives and relatives of Jewish men who had been arrested and targeted for deportation initiated the protests, which continued until the men were released. It was the only mass public demonstration by Germans during the Nazi-era against deportation of Jews.

Next, you’ll head past the Barn Quarter, which was formerly the main Jewish quarter of Berlin, as you make your way to Hackescher Markt. There, you’ll visit Otto Weidt’s Workshop for the Blind, which was established in 1936 as a place to employ blind and deaf Jews. Workers produced brooms and brushes that were classified as important to the war effort. He protected his Jewish employees by bribing the Gestapo.

Before heading to the Berlin New Synagogue, the final stop on the tour, you’ll pause for a tasting at a local Jewish bakery in the Hackescher Markt. The Berlin New Synagogue, with its grand Moorish façade, was one of the few synagogues to survive Kristallnacht, though it was heavily damaged during the war. It was demolished and rebuilt. Now, it houses Centrum Judaicum, an institution for the preservation of Jewish memory and tradition.
